Overview
Cube occupies an interesting middle ground in the FP&A market -- it connects to the spreadsheets finance teams already use (both Excel and Google Sheets) while adding a centralised data layer, version control, and collaboration features.
Unlike Vena, which is exclusively Excel-native, Cube also supports Google Sheets, making it attractive to organisations using Google Workspace. The platform focuses on eliminating the pain points of spreadsheet-based planning -- data inconsistency, version control issues, manual data entry -- while preserving the flexibility and familiarity of spreadsheets.
Cube has gained traction with mid-market organisations that want more structure than bare spreadsheets but less complexity than full enterprise FP&A suites. However, its modelling capabilities are inherently limited by its spreadsheet-dependent architecture.
